So there’s a petition circulating for Matt Smith, the actor who plays Prince Phillip in Netflix’ #thecrown to donate the difference he makes in pay compared to co-star Clair Foy, who played the Queen, to the #timesup legal defence fund. It’s one thing to protest the disparity, but trying to compel the actor to donate his salary, even though it was negotiated on his behalf and he probably had no idea what his co-stars are earning, doesn’t seem right to me. Blame Netflix, the producers, even the agents, but not the actors themselves. I don’t know. What do you guys think?

#TheCrown 👑
S02E05: MARIONETTES
Lord Altrincham, a minor peer and magazine editor, sparks a constitutional crisis after writing an article that contains personal criticism of Elizabeth. The piece was written after Altrincham had listened to a radio broadcast of a particularly tone-deaf speech of hers, written by her aides and members of the court, to the workers of a car factory. While both the local newspapers and the general public are initially against him, they side with him after he appears on ITV and states that the monarchy needs to adapt to the current post-war and post-Suez British society. Macmillan reminds Elizabeth about the trend of nations abolishing monarchies, prompting her to meet with Altrincham in secret. She later implements two of his suggestions, specifically that the 1957 Royal Christmas Message be televised and that the Debutante Ball be opened to select citizens. Six months later, the Queen Mother expresses her embarrassment over the monarchy slowly losing its authority while hosting a garden party with middle-class citizens in attendance.
